[erlang-questions] erlang diameter dictionary

Hello,

Sorry, I still have some problems with sending CCR/CCA messages.  I didn't
quite get how to configure multiple diameter applications though it seems
clear when I read the diameter protocol.

Based on the sample diameter code, I made the following changes,
diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc is the dictionary generated with
rfc4006_cc.dia:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Client $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

-define(SVC_NAME,     ?MODULE).
-define(APP_ALIAS,    ?MODULE).
-define(CALLBACK_MOD, client_cb).
-define(DIAMETER_DICT_CCRA, diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc).

-define(L, atom_to_list).

-define(SERVICE(Name), [{'Origin-Host', ?L(Name) ++ ".example.com"},
                        {'Origin-Realm', "example.com"},
                        {'Vendor-Id', 0},
                        {'Product-Name', "Client"},
                        {'Auth-Application-Id', [?DIAMETER_APP_ID_COMMON]},
                        {application, [{alias, ?APP_ALIAS},
                                       {dictionary, ?DIAMETER_DICT_CCRA},
                                       {module, ?CALLBACK_MOD}]}]).



$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Server $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

-define(DIAMETER_DICT_CCRA, diameter_gen_base_rfc4006_cc).

init(State) ->
    SvcName = ?MODULE,
    SvcOpts = [{'Origin-Host', atom_to_list(SvcName) ++ ".example.com"},
                {'Origin-Realm', "example.com"},
                {'Vendor-Id', 193},
                {'Product-Name', "Server"},
                {'Auth-Application-Id', [?DIAMETER_APP_ID_COMMON]},
                {application, [{alias, ?MODULE},
                               {dictionary, ?DIAMETER_DICT_CCRA},
                               {module, server_cb}]}],
    TransportOpts = [{transport_module, diameter_tcp},
                        {transport_config, [{reuseaddr, true},
                        {ip, {127,0,0,1}}, {port, 3868}]}],
    diameter:start(),
    diameter:start_service(SvcName, SvcOpts),
    diameter:add_transport(SvcName, {listen, TransportOpts}),
    erlang:display("Set up diameter server completed!"),
    {ok, State}.



I changed the callbacks client_cb and server_cb to handle CCR/CCA messages.


However, I got the following errors "app_not_configured". It seems the
configuration for applications is incorrect. How should I configure the
service properly? My understanding is I want to reuse CER/CEA as default
authorization application, but the erlang diameter doesn't explain how to
do it. Or my understanding is incorrect at all.

Could you give me some hints on this issue? The erlang debugger is not easy
to use and call stack information is hard to read (when I show the trace
window, all the buttons for step/next/continue become invisible). The
diameter guidance explains the concept but no clear steps about
configuration.


Many thanks!

Samuel
